I had a Monte Carlo in HS that was putting down about 400 to the wheels, handled worse the the G37 and the brakes sucked. I went into the service and at 18 bought a Forumla 350. The G is safer and handles better then both of those vehicles. I've been in NO accidents and have become a pretty damn good driver.telcoman wrote:

Welcome to NICO
I'd like to speak to your dad is he thinking?
Sorry but an 18 year old should gain driving experience on a less expensive and less powerful vehicle first. Whats wrong with a stick shift Altima for a couple of years. Wouldn't your dad want you to reach my age without the possibility of rapping an expensive vehicle around a pole in the first heavy rain, ice or snow storm?
Have you or your dad checked insurance rates?

Now about an 18 year old. I didn't get my license until I was 18 so I was a little crazy at 18.

Well I can remember when I was eighteen a long time ago with my crappy 58 Ford and because I was a little crazy at that age is why I wrote what I did. I'm glad to hear you are now a mature 22 year old. When I was 22 I received my draft notice.edge2794 is one very lucky 18 year old to be getting a G for his first car.Prior to getting my first car, I had to walk 5 long blocks to HS after getting off the bus

My first car was a 93 Pontiac Grand Am that i had to buy my self. It had sat for about a year before I bought it. The engine was horrible. It would cut off when you would slow down. Needless to say i ran alot of stop signs and red lights just so my car wouldn't die. When it cut off and you started it back up and tried to put it in drive it would cut off again. Pretty useless as a vehicle. Not to mention it was missing a pin in the steering column so the steering wheel would jerk up and down.
The car came with 4 dry rotted tires. They blew on the way to get the car inspected.
A hole in the radiator.
Leaked every time it ran, and smelled musty.
I eventually limped the car to a dealership and they gave me $600 for it when i got the regal.
